After the harrowing events of 1999, countless children were left orphaned, leading to a surge in the demand for orphanages and child care centers. Many of these children, devastated by the loss of their parents, frequently displayed bouts of crying and disturbed sleep. In an attempt to calm them, some overwhelmed caretakers narrated the tale of the "Cherub of Tears"—a goblin-like figure who was said to prey on weeping children, consuming their tears by attaching her mouth over their eyes and drinking all their tears, rendering them blind. This tale was initially seen as a mere nursery bogey to encourage good behavior. However, unsettling accounts of children found blind with peculiar marks around their eyes started to surface, lending a sinister aura to the myth. Today, the legend of the Cherub of Tears lingers, warning children about the consequences of excessive crying and the eerie possibility of the creature coming to visit them.
